Nori Sushi

I think this place is, considering the area around, a gem in the rough if you will. I cannot comment on their take out service but I have had their AYCE multiple times and I am always impressed with its… quality.
I really love the interior of the restaurant. As a resident of the neighbourhood around, I am accustomed to dingy hole in the wall interiors and going to Nori Sushi always pleasantly surprises. The restaurant has a really nice modern feel to it and I forget that I am steps from Albion Mall. They constantly have a TV playing somewhat out of place music but usually fitting to the modern feel of the interior. I’d have to give the ambience a ⁴⁄₅ here but of course this is a part of the review that is subjective.
The service is bittersweet. The servers are incredibly quick and food comes out fast but without much enjoyment or happiness. This does not bother too much as I would not prefer the opposite scenario however I could see how this would be bothersome to some.
The food, however, is what I come back for. I am much too used to the generous servings of rice that sushi places downtown serve and going to Nori always puts many of the places downtown to shame (i swear their salmon handroll is 60% salmon, a very respectable portion). I really appreciate their portions along with their freshness. The kitchen items always come out very hot and they offer so many items that trying everything in one go would require intense mental fortitude. Now I personally am not a very picky person, however I would not hesitate to bring my friends here as I am sure they would appreciate the food here as well. I must give the food a 4.5÷5 however since they do not serve shrimp tempura at lunch but then still have essentially everything you’d need.
I’m happy that this restaurant exists as I do not need to travel far to have good AYCE sushi. Sure, the service is not the greatest and they are missing some items on the menu. But its probably my favourite place to get AYCE sushi just because they do a lot of things right. Good, generous sushi, quick service, a multitude of choices and a clean restaurant is what you are getting here for a pretty decent price. I hope Nori Sushi keeps up the good work! I’m giving a 4.5÷5 as its not completely perfect, but it is perfectly suitable.

I had a really bad experience tonight!!! I ordered food from there and one of my plate I received had a long hair! I called them, and they refused to replace the plate or to refund… and they hung up on me!!! Really bad service! I will never order from that place again and I suggest you to do the same!!!

Had it for my cousins birthday, we ordered in. I plan on visiting soon based on the all you can eat sushi. Loved the goshi, Tuna roll, salmon roll and green dragon… The delivery was pretty fast especially since we are no where near the restaurant. Generous portion sizes compared to what I’ve experienced in the past (at other sushi places)

I have gone a total of 3 times for their AYCE for lunch and have been impressed. This is sushi restaurant is fairly new and was skeptical at first due to the surrounding area. But after trying it was pleasantly surprised.
Firstly, the lunch is only $ 13.99 + %10 off if you’re paying by cash ($ 1 more on weekends and possibly Friday) which is cheaper than its competitors around the area. In comparison to another place not to far which charged $ 14-​$ 15.99, I feel like they surppased them in certain areas.
1. The rice to fish/​meat ratio was very good they didn’t try to cheat you by stuffing a sushi or roll with extra rice.
2. Freshness was all there, it could be because they do have a Chinese super market near them but in terms of fresh taste of the fish they score higher marks than the some of the others in the area.
Areas where they lacked versus the higher priced establishments were, customer service. They did their jobs and got the food in a timely manner just not with a smile or sense of going beyond expectations. Slight lack in lunch item choices in terms of what rolls or items other places offered versus what they offered. And I guess no iPads?
In conclusion I would differently recommend this place for their AYCE for their price, freshness and flavor. I am actually going again right now.
Extra note: They do offer delivery and have a nice setup for their delivery though their mobile site. Only thing is I haven’t tried it personally so I can’t speak for their speed and order accuracy.

I ordered food from them on Jan 1^st, 2016 at 6:42PM. The order was supposed to be delivered by 7:35PM, and it is now 8:32PM and no food has arrived. I called about 20 minutes ago and they said the driver would arrive within the next minute, but nobody has called or came to my door.
I ordered from Nori Sushi several times previously with no issue, and the sushi is delicious from what I remember, but between the $ 5 delivery fee (to which I expect premium service if I have to pay that much for delivery with a minimum order amount) and the crappy delivery service, I will not being ordering from here again. I recommend that you don’t either. Thoroughly upset.
EDIT: The food did eventually arrive at 8:40PM, but I must say, it was nowhere near as delicious as it was previously. It was actually some of the worst sushi I’ve had in Etobicoke, and by far the worst I have had all year. I have no idea what happened to this place, but STAY AWAY!
